Chapter 7

Ren

So what are you waiting for exactly? Kylie’s latest text said. Just grab those hunks and have your way with them already!

I shook my head with a smile she couldn’t see. I sure wished it felt as easy as she made it sound. I’ve been making progress. I’ve got two official mates now.

Woohoo! Now we’re talking. Was the second one Nate or Marco? Or did you manage to thaw out the chilly wolf?

I outright laughed at that, flopping back on my bed. The chilly wolf. Yeah, that was an appropriate description for West. Other than the rare occasions when he suddenly turned scorching.

Nate, I replied. Things are still a little tense with the other two. Although less so with Marco after this afternoon’s conversation. It wasn’t enough to completely make up for the callous way he’d talked about me, but it got us partway there. I wasn’t sure I’d be able to completely trust him—and my body’s reactions to him—until I’d seen how he acted when we were among his kin.

And how was it? Don’t kiss and tell doesn’t apply to besties, you know that.

Not in Kylie’s book, anyway. But there was only so much I was willing to commit to written record.

It was good. Really good. I think I’m getting the hang of this mate thing.

Oh, my little Ren, all grown up.

I wrinkled my nose at the phone, but the comment was fair. I hadn’t gone all the way with any guys in the entire time I’d known Kylie before now. Even when I hadn’t known I was a dragon shifter, something inside me had felt that bond to my destined mates. Something that had gotten out its claws anytime I got too hot and heavy with a guy.

But that was fine. I’d take even West over any of the boys and men I’d met before now.

A knock sounded on the door. Nate’s rich baritone carried through. “Ready to go, Ren?”

“Pretty much,” I called back, shoving myself upright. “You can come in.” It’s party time, I wrote to Kylie. More later.

I met Nate in the sitting room. It was hard not to stare at his impressive form packed into that formal suit. I was still wearing the same gown from this afternoon. After a brief escape from the growing crowd, I felt ready to face the official celebration. Everything before this had just been a warm-up.

Desire kindled in Nate’s gaze as he took me in. He wrapped a brawny arm around my shoulders to pull me close to him. I closed my eyes and leaned into his kiss. He felt more relaxed now. Less rage simmering beneath the gentle exterior. But I knew if anyone ever threatened me again, the grizzly would be back in an instant.

“Orion is locked away and on the tranquilizer,” he told me when he pulled back. “The guards have been carefully monitoring everyone else who’s arrived. I don’t think you need to worry.”

“I know you’re taking every step you can,” I told him. My stomach twisted.
